A/C Repair Service for Your Mazda MX-5 Miata

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Mazda vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2011 Mazda A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mazda MX-5 Miata

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

MX-5 Miata A/C Recharge

While your 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mazda guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your MX-5 Miata’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C Systems

  • How can I make my MX-5 Miata air conditioner colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • What’s making my MX-5 Miata A/C put out warm air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your MX-5 Miata’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Does the A/C in my MX-5 Miata rely on gas? Your MX-5 Miata’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my MX-5 Miata smells like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your MX-5 Miata smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my MX-5 Miata’s A/C to work? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your MX-5 Miata’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
